I had my fine, blue water sailing yacht hauled last week and applied three
gallons on Trinidad Pro bottom paint. It amounts to six coats on the
high-wear areas along the LWL, rudder and keel and four coats everywhere
else.

Here are a few photos that show the very clean and ultra-fast underwater
design.

After viewing the photos, even you Brit ******s will understand how no
boat
with a similar LWL (23-feet) can expect to keep up with 'Cut the Mustard'.
You lazy sailors with your big diesels and big props dragging through the
water lack a knot or two compared to my real sailboat configuration. I
sailed back to my mooring in the company of a 1975, Dufour 30 - the one
with
the five-foot draft and racy bulb keel - and I put her hull down in an
hour
under working sail in 12-15 knots of wind on a reach. And the Dufour is
supposed to be a fast boat.

P.S. A special note to Capt. Joe of "Red Cloud" infamy. Where's the photos
of "Red Cloud's" new bottom paint? LOL!

I guess for a weenie-armed individual such as yourself a 45-pound dinghy
might well appear clunky and heavy. But, for us real sailormen it's a simple
task to pull it out of the water and flop it upside-down on the custom
carrier made from stainless steel tubing.

Seems like I recally you posted that about five or seven years ago
originally. I was wanting to see something a wee bit more current than that.
But, I suppose you'd have to get together a deep-sea diving expedition to
bet photos of Red Cloud's current bottom.

Everybody likes a sob story these days. . . Tales of woe, operations of
ineptitude. They all identify with other hapless incompetents, it seems.

That would be very easy to do as I don't have to mount a deep-sea diving
operation to snap such photos. LOL! You are right about the dead lights. The
original plastic is badly crazed but what you don't see is the 3/16" Lexan I
installed on the inside beneath the frames. Sort of like what you see in an
airplane cabin.

Good grief don't tell me you now have a wooden motor boat. Will you never
learn. (Poor bloke goes from rust to rot. ROFLOL.)
